…automation trade shows because of its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use, said the company. Source: OnRobot Overcoming tradition Traditional robotic palletizers are highly effective, but they are also expensive—not just in terms of the initial capital outlay, but also due to the costs associated with set up, programming, and ongoing maintenance. For cash-strapped small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) struggling to find a solution to long-term labor shortages, the numbers don’t add up. Footprint is also a challenge. Traditional palletizing robots take up a considerable amount of precious floorspace compared with the alternatives because of the size of the robots…

…cited bridge manufacturing as an example of the software's ease of use with existing cells or turnkey setups. It works with existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and standardized APIs. “While all bridges are different, an operator can upload a 3D model, select the joints to be welded, and press a button,” said Golitsyn. “There's no orientation planning, and our software can automatically identify weld joints. The user can define parameters and change the sequence.” “Once the task has been defined, the robot can execute it,” he said. “I can create a task in California and execute it in Chicago. Like…
